Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A significantly increased risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) with the prophylactic use of aprotinin has been reported in adults undergoing cardiac surgery, but not in children. Blood product transfusions have also been shown to carry an independent risk of AKI. The present study assessed associations between AKI, aprotinin, and transfusions in neonates and infants undergoing cardiac surgery. All neonates and infants undergoing surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass over a 42 month period, before and after the withdrawal of aprotinin, were included retrospectively. AKI was assessed by the Acute-Kidney-Injury-Network classifications. A propensity score was used to balance treated and untreated groups. Three hundred and ninety patients received aprotinin and 568 patients did not. Inverse probability of treatment weighting resulted in good balance between groups for baseline and surgical characteristics. Controls underwent surgery with smaller bypass circuits and fewer transfusions. After adjustment for the use of miniaturized circuits and for the year of surgery, no significant association between the incidence of AKI, dialysis, and aprotinin was noted. Red blood cell transfusions were associated with an increased risk of AKI and dialysis: odds ratios (ORs) 1.64 (1.12–2.41) and 2.07 (1.13–3.73), respectively; as were fresh frozen plasma transfusions, ORs 2.28 (1.68–3.09) and 3.11 (1.95–4.97), respectively. Platelet transfusions were associated with an increased risk of dialysis: OR 2.20 (1.21–4.01). Blood product transfusions, but not the prophylactic use of aprotinin, are significantly associated with AKI after cardiac surgery in neonates and infants.
